[K12OSN] Local priner problem

[julius at turtle.com]

Radek, same server as yours,  this is what works for me like a charm:
 
        PRINTER_0_TYPE=S
        PRINTER_0_DEVICE="/dev/usb/lp0"
        PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY=Y

Check the /dev files. I use "Write only" because I don't want or need
the chatter. The printer type is really serial as in "Universal Serial
Bus".
 A good way to test for the properly created printer process is:
telnet 192.168.1.10 9100.
you should get:
Connected to 192.168.1.10.
Escape character is '^]'.

Subject:[K12OSN] Local priner problem

 Hello All,

Today I try the first time to use local printer connected to thin
client, and no effect.

My LTSP server is CentOS 6.3 x86_64.
My local printer connected to thin client via USB is Samsung ML-2165.
This printer connected to the server directly works very well.

The first I checked is thin client sees this printer.
Using Ctrl+F6 I switched to the shell and:
# tail -f /var/log/messages
I can see that printer is connected to /dev/usblt0
I checked jetpipe:
# ps aux | grep jetpipe

and I can see:
root  3463  0.0   0.0   760  pts/1  S+  14:49  0:00  grep
jetpipe

Thin client configuration in lts.conf:
[E0:69:95:65:A1:EB]                # Nettop D510
   
LIKE                                  
= CentOS
    PRINTER_0_DEVICE          = "/dev/usblp0"
    PRINTER_0_PORT             = 9100
    PRINTER_TYPE                  = U

Thin client receives from DHCP IP address 192.168.1.10
# Netbook D510
  host d510 {
    option host-name "d510";
    hardware ethernet    E0:69:95:65:A1:EB;
    fixed-address 192.168.1.10;

    ### LTSP 5
    option root-path "192.168.1.230:/opt/ltsp/i386";
    next-server 192.168.1.230;
    filename        "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
    ### Koniec LTSP 5
  }

Finally I added printer using system-config-printer:
socket://192.168.1.10:9100

And nothing.

I checked archives this issue and I found this post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2012-September/msg00009.html

Follow this advice I deleted old jetpipe from thin client chroot and
I renamed p910nd in jetpipe.

Still nothing. I can see the message that the printer could be not
connected.

What should I to do to use local printer.
Any advice will be priceless.
